No More Violence for Ethiopian WomenThe Bright Future program in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia helps low-income women and girls become assimilated into society by providing academic education, life skills, and reproductive education. Sign the petition to support the program and tell the UN that it's a monumental step in preventing violence against women.

Children Should Be Students, Not SoldiersChildren who are forced to fight in military operations lose the opportunity to have a childhood. When children lose the opportunity to grow, learn, and pursue their dreams, their entire nation suffers as a result. Show your support for the "Children, Not Soldiers" campaign, and help end the militarization of children by 2016.

OUR FAVORITE PROJECTS

Help ensure Salu and her classmates stay in school!

For many girls around the world, the greatest barrier to completing school is that poverty forces girls to leave school to earn money for their family. Many girls, like Salu, are helping their parents to earn a basic income, while also caring for their younger siblings. During Girls' Voices, girls around the world learn to share their hopes and dreams for completing school and to share their greatest barrier to completing school. Our goal is that girls gain confidence, financial support, and the ability to navigate the challenges that may prevent them from completing school.

During the Girls' Voices workshop, Salu created a video about the realities of attending school while also helping her father in their tea shop. Her piece, No Time to Study, showcases the time deficit many girls around the world face while trying to attend school. Despite her difficulties, Salu is determined to complete school. She says, "No one can make you feel inferior if you are educated".
